Did they ever?  I thought it was tigers.  or chihuahuas.  second of all, is that REALLY the best demonstration of the lion&#8217;s bravery?  that he can jump through hoops?  Not because he can survive out in the wild, chasing down herds of zebra?  Not because he&#8217;s the &#8220;King of the Jungle&#8221; (and hey, do lions live in jungles?  did I get that quote right?)?  But for ME, I had to get this because of all of the &#8220;hoop-jumping&#8221; I&#8217;ve been doing lately.  this jumper makes ME feel brave.  too bad it doesn&#8217;t come in my size.
